What Makes This Recipe So Good
A breakfast pizza is such a fun way to change things up a little. Instead of omelets or plain old bacon and eggs, make a pizza instead! It’s a great option for a family breakfast on holidays or weekends, too.This is a super easy recipe to customize! Use ham instead of bacon or sausage, mix onions and bell pepper or spinach into the scrambled eggs, top it with a little salsa or hot sauce, add pepper jack cheese for heat. The possibilities are endless!This recipe makes one 12-inch breakfast pizza, but you could totally adapt it for a few smaller personal pizzas instead. That way everyone gets their breakfast favorites!
Key Ingredients
Pizza Crust – Frozen or refrigerated will both work here, or go the extra mile and make your own crust from scratch! If you’re paleo, we have a great recipe for a paleo pizza crust with cassava flour. Just make sure to eliminate the dairy ingredients from the breakfast pizza recipe!Eggs – The trick to amazingly creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs is just a little milk! You could also use heavy cream or softened cream cheese. Oh, and be sure to use a whisk (not a fork) and scramble them vigorously so you incorporate enough air.Cheese – So you CAN use pre-packaged, shredded cheese… but you’ll have MUCH better results (and flavors) if you shred your own! It’s so easy to do, too – all you need is a cheese grate and a block of decent cheese. Trust me, it really does make a big difference!
Chef’s Tips
If you’d like a little sauce on your breakfast pizza, an easy hollandaise would be perfect! Make it in the microwave while the pizza bakes, then drizzle it over the top of the pizza before you slice it.Use mild or hot breakfast sausage, whichever you prefer, and don’t be shy with the bacon crumbles! You can totally use more or less than what’s listed below, for any ingredient.Since all of the ingredients get baked together at the end, it’s important you don’t overcook anything. The eggs should be pretty soft, the bacon should be cooked through but not super crispy, the sausage should be just browned and crumbled, and the pizza crust should be lightly golden. If you cook anything too much on the first pass, it’ll be dry and overdone (or maybe burnt) after the entire breakfast pizza bakes.
